Good morning, Jesus.
Lord, not all days are good. Sickness comes, accidents happen, relationships dissolve, and the list goes on. Life’s stuff can be devastating physically, emotionally, spiritually, not to mention financially. In no way are Your followers exempt either. Many of us are going through battles we never dreamed we’d fight. Relentlessly, the enemy challenges our faith, accusing God of punishing us for some perceived wrong, denying Your goodness. I get so tired of the devil’s lies. You are a good God. You are love. Your grace enables us to persevere, knowing the light will dawn and our hearts will sing and dance again. Thank You, that in our darkest hours, amid our suffering, Your Spirit strengthens us, making us aware of Your presence.
Bless and protect our front-line workers, first responders and emergency personnel. Keep them safe from COVID-19, and may we always show them our appreciation. We pray for all those infected with the virus, that all will make a complete recovery. Our hearts go out to those dear folks who have lost loved ones and friends to this pandemic. Comfort and strengthen them as only You can, Lord.
Forgive our sins, heal our nation. As individuals, and as a people, may we order our lives according to Your precepts and our leaders to govern by Your values.
No matter what, You are still good, Jesus. Amen.
